TESTIMONY OF GEORGE S. DE MOHRENSCHILDT RESUMED
The proceeding was reconvened at 2 p.m.
Mr. Jenner. As I recall, yesterday you testified your recollection was that early in your acquaintance with the Oswalds, you approached Sam Ballen to see if he could undertake or might be able to employ Oswald.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. To refresh your recollection in that regard, Mr. Ballen says his recollection is that he first met Lee in December 1962 or January 1963 at your home.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. It could be.
Mr. Jenner. And he was aware that you had approached Mr. Ballen's wife and other people to assist the Oswalds, and also to have them out socially.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. You did do that, did you?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes, I don't remember whether I asked the Ballens to invite them, but I did ask some other people to invite them, because they were so lonesome. And maybe fortunately for them, they refused.
